look at its bottom. if the bottom is flat, it's a female. if the bottom has a bowl-like indent, then it's a male.

i looked this one up for you but please go to this site it will help you the most....good luck.....
Telling apart a Male from a Female can be pretty hard if the turtle is at a young stage, but easier as the turtle grows older into juveniles and adults. It doesn't really rely on age, but rather by size. This features will be easily visible on turtles of 4" or larger, depending on over all average size of your species of turtle. Note: This Male/Female information can be applied to sliders and other turtles of similar race. Not all turtles will display these features.
read on on this web site below.......good luck and i hope i helped you.....

Get a male and a female turtle other than the one you have.
If your turtle is male, it be attracted to female and vice versa.
Well, its a different thing if your turtle is gay. I hope its not.
Check on the internet and it will tell you the differeces.
You know the most obvious reason: the sexual organs.

depends...if it's a land turtle than flip over and check for a con-cave shell..that's a male (so he can "fit" on the female)..if its aquatic than the males have much longer front "claws" (to hold onto the female in the water) and a much larger tail which "hides" he's penis...if you still can't tell take it to a reptile shop

Come home late at night and drunk. If the turtle just stays in it's little tank then it's male. If it gets up, starts bitching at you for coming home late and drinking all night instead of staying home with it and not spending money on booze and your buddies then it's female.

For a red eared slider, males have much longer toenails than females. Females tend to grow larger too.

Male turtles often have fatter and bigger tales than the female.

I was told it had something to do with the shape under the shell at their tail. If it is a triangle then it is male if it is more rounded then it is female.

well look on the bottom. If it is con caved then its a male if not female. That way he can fit on top for mating.

Turn it over. If it's backside is flat and tale is short and stubby it's a female. If it's backside is concave and tale is large and thick it's male.
